Assuming that your question is (x-1)(x+2) = [5(x-1)]/x-1
On the right side, the x-1's will cancel out, leaving you with (x-1)(x+2) = 5
expand the left side, giving you x^2 + x -2 = 5
which goes to x^2 +x -7 = 0
the possible values for x are 2.93 and -3.93. I don't think this was your question, so I'll do the other possible question that you might have been asking.
(x-1)(x+2) = 5(x-1)
divide by x-1 on both sides, leaving you with x+2=5
x+2=5
x=5-3
x=3
Answer:
x+y = 112 ........ (1)
x-y = 62............ (2)
from (1) and (2)
2x = 174
x = 174/2
x = 87
sub x = 87 in (1)
x+y = 112
87+y = 112
y = 112 - 87
y = 25
so the numbers are 87 and 25
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 140 - The reason it would be one 40 is honestly a really simple explanation. Is the ratio of boys to girls in 7-2 and the amount of girls is 40. That means that per 1 number, is 20 people since 40 divided by 2 is 20. So if I do 2 x 7 that would be 140.
2. I didnt really understand this one sorryyy.
3. 1200 (same rule applies) - Since The ratio is 1:11 and the 1 represents 100 beans. If I doo 100 x 11 that would be 1100, then I would add the 1100 to the 100 (from the 1) and that would be 1200.
4. 6:7 - If I do 650 - 350 that would be 300. Which means the ratio would be 300:350. But once simplified the answer would be 6:7.
5. 1:2 - 720 - 240 is 480. Therefore the ratio would be 240:480. Once simplified, the ratio is 1:2.
Hope this helped. Good luck!!! xo
Answer:
Bella is largely mistaken.
Step-by-step explanation:
What she described equals 90
58 is 50 plus 8. So its 50 and 8.That is for the first one.
